CNBC's International Your Money Financial Security Survey conducted by SurveyMonkey recently asked people all over the world exactly that, and the answers revealed of how people in different countries think about their finances.
"Financial security is not an income amount," the 42-year-old tells CNBC Make It.
"To me, financial security is a time amount."
Adcock says the moment he felt financially secure came in 2016 at age 35, when he retired from his corporate job with about $900,000.
"That was really the first time where I felt financially secure, meaning we don't have to work for the rest of our lives."
